What do you like about your job and the company?

Developing others to become the best in their career streams, enabling my subordinate's to have the tools and place them in the driving seat of their career is what gives me the greatest sense of achievement.

Greatest achievements

Whilst i have pushed into the unknown at times over my career, both physically and mentally at different tasks, Operations and Exercises alike. I have many achievements and proud moments over the years but, when i think back on it all. Completion of basic training has to be up there as one of the best. Why? Quite simply it was the first time in my life that i had truly pushed myself and tested what i was really capable of. The first day of the rest of my life. It proved to be the foundations on to becoming a better person, who always had progressive goals being set.

The best advice i was given while on the train to pirbright was when you get to the station , give your service number in two groups of 4. Try get your Cat B driving licence before you start training, this will just help you move about easier in the early days you will have alot kit, also when you get to Phase 2 and 3 training you will be fast tracked to HGV etc. driving cost money so you will be hanging around waiting for it easier if you do it yourself be proactive. Fitness is a big part of army life so goto the Gym do some sort of basic rountine even if its walking around the block get the pulse rate going, Again it will just make service life so much easier if you fit.

In my experience the Army isn't looking for one type of stereotyped Officer or Soldier. In fact it is the diversity of our organisation that makes us so effective.
